Bane chaahe dushman zamaana hamaaraa
Salaamat rahe dostaana hamaara
Vo khvaabȯ ke din vo kitaabȯ ke din
Savaalȯ kee raatė, javaabȯ ke din
Kayee saal hamne guzaare yahaȧ
Yaheė saath khele huye ham jawaan
Huye hum jawaan
Thaa bachpan baṛaa aashikaanaa hamaaraa
Salaamat rahe dostaana hamaaraa
Bane chaahe dushman zamaana hamaara
Na bichhṛenge mar ke bhee ham dostȯ
Humė dostee kee kasam dostȯ
Pataa koyee poochhe to kehte hai ham
Ke ek duje ke dil me rehte hai ham
Rehte hain ham
Naheė aur koyee thikana humara
Salaamat rahe dostaana hamaaraa
Bane chaahe dushman zamaana hamaara
Even if the entire world becomes our enemy, our friendship will persevere and will always be safe.
Those days and nights were full of study, days and nights of questions and answers, we spent so many years here, played together, and grew up together. Our childhood was one of friendship and love. Our friendship will be strong.
Even when we die, our loyalty to friendship will not die, we swear by our friendship. If someone were to ask for our individual addresses, we would say we live in each other’s hearts. There is no other place for us. Our friendship will endure.
Dostana, 1980; Mohammed Rafi
